And although i are protected by federal , at least three golden eagles fshot by hunters. jreet birds that once Hen over most of the States ace found today in Wyoraint, Montana, and California, the it Geographic Society spend winters in Lend New Mexico, out 800 pairs of nesting remain in the United g?, Assistant Secretary of Interior Nathaniel Reed rts, and their future is uncertain. In 1967 researchers found only IS likt of goldan eagles Hi ? 1,260 ? square - mile am of Montana, or one pak for ?vary 70 square milts. Poisons and hunting continue to take thair toll, and oontervatlonfcts had hopad Wyomln|'? remote canyon* m%ht provide a refuge. At least 20,000 golden eagles ware ihot by hunters using light planes in the 20 years before the practice was banned in 1962. Today, both: golden eagles and bald eaglet are on the Interior Department list of endangered species. Killing them is a federal offense. While the bald eagle Is America's national bird, Persian armks and Roman legions marched behind the standards of the golden eagle. Shakespeare described it as a "feather'd king." In falconry, only kings and emperors were permitted to hunt with the eagta. The spirited bird* were used for huntini in the time of Kublai Khan, and hunters still employ them in parts of China and the Soviet Union. By the time an eaglet is four weeks old its sight is eight times sharper than a man's. Iu remarkable eyes can focus from telescopic almost to microscopic vision, and a mature golden eagle can detect a rabbit fully half a mile away. The eagles suffer unfairly for their reputation as hunters. Ranchers kill them for allegedly preying on sheep. But studies indicate the birds live mainly on rabbits, squirrels, snakes, and smaller birds and rarely on sheep. A survey in Scotland showed that in a region producing some 4,000 sheep in five years, only seven became meals for eagles. These may have been lambs that died at birth, for eagles will feed on carrion. Naturalist John Craighead reported in the September 1967 issue of National Geographic that observations of the remains of 980 animals found in 38 series in Montana disclosed only two lambs, and these may have been dead before the eagles flew off with them. The golden eagles' chances of making a comeback remain slim. The birds mature at five years and may live more than 40. But a pair produces less than two eggs in two years, and not all of these hatch. Some eaglets die in falls from clifftop nests. Other eagles elude hunters only to alight on power poles, cross the wires by flapping their six ? foot wings, and electrocute themselves.

According to the American Automobile Auociation, which hai juit made a survey of such costs, travelers will have to pay more for food, overnight lodging, gasoline and most other item*. Prices are about 16 percent higher, on average, than they were two years ago, when a similar survey was made. All in all, to travel comfortably, a Hoke County couple will need about S46 a day, the flgurea show. That is S6.S0 more than the $39.50 that was required in 1969. It will adequately take care of the necessities but not the frills. On this basis, a two ? week trip for the local couple will cost a minimum of S644. It is exclusive of outlays they may wish to make for amusements, admissions to places of interest, souvenirs and the like. Provided for, under this budget, are S16 a day per couple for food and snacks, an increase of $2 over the amount needed two years ago, $17 for overnight accommodations, which is S3 more than before, S9 for gas and oil, a rise of SO cents, and S4 for tips and miscellaneous' iuwMt ts ?jtompared with $3 pievtousty. .

According to the latest figures, released by the AAA, for a standard ? tize car in the popular price range, driven 10,000 miles a year, it comes to approximately S1.S50. This compares with $1,448 two years ago. Included is SI, 125 in fixed costs - for depreciation, insurance and registration feei - and $425 in variable costs, for gas, oil, maintenance and tires. Applied to Hoke County and to the 4,140 passenger cars registered, car ownership costs local drivers close to S6,417,000 a year. Gas stations in the area have been aided by the increase in auto travel. Their receipts per year now total $2,202,000, topping the previous year's $2,168,000.

In the semi ? darkness we noticed a child going toward the lighted area, where the refrethmenti and rest rooms were. In a few minutet, the came by on her return trip. She was sobbing because she had not found her father's ear. She wailed, "Why are you hiding from me? Then her father appeared out of the darkness. He just took her hand and led her back to the car - her security. This story points to man's experience of God: God is not playing "hard to get"; man has lost his seme of direction. God is not dead; man has allowed his perception to become dulled. Man has become confused by the "bright lights" and has lost his sense of direction, but God is watchful over us. In Him is our peace, our security. PRAYER: Dear Father, in the confusion of modern living it is often difficult to find our way. Forgive us whenever we assume that the fault is Yours.
